Marsotto Edizioni

Art Direction 2010→2015

“My first meeting with Mario and Costanza Marsotto was one of those happy meetings where almost immediatly found that we enjoyed working together”. James started to collaborate with Marsotto in 2008, a great collaboration as art direction that continued until 2015. ‘Together we arrived at the idea of Marsotto Edizioni. A place to create products, a place for the designers to realize their idea”. The intuition was to make marble ‘light’, suitable for use in everyday objects: tables, occasional tables, seats, console tables.

The designers are a mix of nationalities, German, English, Swedish, Japanese, American, French and Italian. The products created in white Carrara marble are made using CNC machinery and finished by hand. Marble, the material of the Romans and Greeks. The most noble of materials.

Work: writing brief, designing products, establishing the means of communication within company, from organizing photoshoots explaining the design to setting up exhibitions…
